Orlando told US Weekly last year that “Miranda and I spend so much time apart; she’s working hard, I’m working hard, so we have to grab time together whenever we can. A weekend here, a weekend there… we are just enjoying our time together now.”

The Victoria’s Secret model also revealed that she planned to have kids.

“I’ve always wanted kids, so… someday… eventually, yes, it will happen,” Kerr confessed. “My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and vegetable patch. When this is all over, that’s where I’ll be.”
